All mothers worry about their babies and try to notice any changes in their condition or behavior on time. And this is the right approach. The sooner the disease is revealed, the easier it will be to fight it.
Sometimes parents notice that the child has always moist palms and feet. This can be for various reasons. For example, you are in the apartment is too hot, or you are too warm clothes crumbs. But it can be a symptom of some disease or serious pathology. Therefore, the baby is better to show the pediatrician and consult with him on this issue.
Why does the child have wet palms?
Sweaty palms of the child can serve as a beacon, the first manifestations of rickets. Just do not panic immediately, to set this diagnosis you need a combination of symptoms. Among them:
- increased nervousness of the baby (he constantly cries, restlessly sleeps, frightened);
- loss of appetite;
- sweating of the head;
- bald patches on the head, appearing because the sweaty head itches, and the child, trying to cope with this, pushes it against the surface with all her might (by the way, almost all babies have scuff on the nape, and not always it is a symptom of rickets);
- sharp unpleasant odor of sweat and urine.
For the prevention of rickets, prescribe the intake of vitamin D. It is advisable to visit the fresh air and the sun more often.
The palms of a child with impaired thermoregulation strongly sweat. It can be transmitted from the parents or appear due to hypoxia. At the same time, the palms are often cold. In the future, you can diagnose the VSD (vegetative-vascular dystonia).
Sometimes the palms of a child not only sweat, but swell. This can be a manifestation of an allergy or an abnormal metabolism. If the water-salt balance is violated in the body, the swelling may be noticeable on the face and legs.
In conclusion, I would like to wish your children health, and you advise carefully, monitor changes in the condition of the baby.
